    Reolink POE Doorbell and Other NVR / Apps

    Thanks, that might be part of my problem is I don't currently have an NVR, I was using the smartPSS / DMSS apps and SD cards for Amcrest cameras, hoping to do the same with the Reolink doorbell, but it looks like I'll need to go out and get some sort of NVR. Not sure if I should get a Reolink...

    Reolink POE Doorbell and Other NVR / Apps

    Does this also work for the Dahua SmartPSS windows app or the DMSS mobile app? I don't see a way to enable ONVIF on those programs, although my Amcrest cameras have no problem connecting via ONVIF

    Reolink POE Doorbell and Other NVR / Apps

    Looking to get confirmation one way or the other on using the Reolink POE doorbell with an Amcrest NVR or even the SmartPSS Windows applicaiton or the DMSS phone application.

    Need Doorbell Dahua NVR

    I've got the Reolink POE Doorbell and can't get the DMSS App nor the SmartPSS Windows app to connect to the doorbell, even though the IP Address is correct. I've tried all the ports, still not working. I can get to the web browser version just fine. My phone is on the same VLAN as the...

    Motion Detection Selected in Schedule but Constant Record

    Ya, I was fortunate that the router we are using has OpenVPN installed, so I was able to set that up and then connect on the VPN to hit the IP Address... Not sure it makes anything any safer with P2P open or not, but since its an HOA and its not only me who needs access, I can't just make it...

    Motion Detection Selected in Schedule but Constant Record

    I figured it out, it was that I had to select teach camera channel individually, so I did a copy settings to all. Ya, I'm not connected to the network the cameras are on, so using SmartPSS is my easiest option that seems to do what I need it to do...

    Motion Detection Selected in Schedule but Constant Record

    I've got an EmpireTechNVR with 5442 cameras and although I've selected Motion Detection in the schedule, the cameras all continuously record.

    SmartPSS Different Screen Fills

    I have an NVR5XXX-16P with two identical 5442's. They appear to have the same camera settings, yet in SmartPSS they show up one full in the box, the other chopped. Can't figure out why. Any help

    NVR IP Assignment

    The cameras all dropped down into the bottom half, and the one I configured is working properly, so I know my configuration for the 5442's is correct. Now I need to investigate the wiring. Appreciate the help all!

    NVR IP Assignment

    So I was able to get into one of the old IPPower (Hikvision) cameras with the default username and password. I set the IP address to the new subnet and plugged it into the new NVR It shows up in this list, but its not being added to the bottom of the page.
